Na Muthukumar died at 41. An important Tamil poet who also wrote for cinema. If he lived a little he'd have made the above intro redundant

Muthukumar was 41. Born at Kancheepuram near Chennai, he aspired to be a film director early in his career and had worked as an assistant to filmmaker Balu Mahendra.
In a career lasting over a decade, he wrote around 1,000 songs. He holds a special record for penning 103 songs in 2012.
Most popular for his collaboration with composers Yuvan Shankar Raja and G.V Prakash, he reportedly wrote over 200 songs in the latter's composition.
Two of his songs 'Aanandha Yazhai Meetugiraai' (from 'Thanga Meengal') and 'Azhage Azhage' (from 'Saivam') fetched him National Awards.
Some of his other popular songs include 'Suttum Vizhi', 'Devathaiyai Kandaen', 'Mun Andhi' and 'Venillave'.
